DB2 pureXML Cookbook

April 10, 2009

I’m delighted to let you know about an upcoming book from two of IBM’s leading pureXML experts—Matthias Nicola and Pav Kumar-Chatterjee. In this book, they take the reader from simple introductions all the way through advanced scenarios. They do this with a hands-on approach that includes more than 700 practical examples. It includes samples for SQL/XML, XQuery, Java, .NET, COBOL, PL/1, C, PHP, and Perl. But best of all, the authors include best practices, tips & tricks, performance guidelines, and other gems that are not documented elsewhere. You can pre-order the DB2 pureXML Cookbook from Amazon.

Hi Brian, the DB2 pureXML Cookbook should be available in July. The Amazon page says July 27, but that might be a conservative estimate. Might be a couple of weeks earlier. Anyway, I’ll post updated information on channeldb2.com and my homepage (http://www.matthiasnicola.de) when I know the exact date.
